 The now rogue scientist [[Meldersen]] freely admits he created the weapons from his own research, as a protest to the rebuking of Awal and his colleagues. "Awal Sleeps" is meant derogatorily - that Awal has clouded his judgment and closed his eyes to the possibilities of [[Meldersen]]'s research. [[Meldersen]] has since become a vital member of the [[Conflict That Is Not Happening]] and his weapons are deployed against [[Iganefta]]; he vows never to slip into the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge|Forgotten Knowledge]] he once heralded over.
-[[Iganefta]], in turn, has developed Ball Lightning Liqueur, based on the same subversion and covert principles of "Awal Sleeps." Deployment is slightly more difficult, however: instead of merely throwing or firing the "Awal Sleeps" parcels, which explode silently on impact, the bottles of liqueur require two people: one to throw them above a target, and another to shatter the bottle with a well-placed stone or arrow. It is because of this somewhat awkward coordination that unexploded bottles of Lightning found in [[Fefferberry]] bushes are under investigation for their secrets by scientists stationed in [[Evesque Valley]]. The initial results of these studies have caused great consternation, foremost due to mounting suspicion that the [[Anise Engine]] had a hand in their production; Valley scientists have contracted several [[Occultologists]] in an attempt to (hopefully) invalidate their fears.
